We propose a joint source-channel coding system for fractal image compression. We allocate the available total bit rate between the source code and the channel code using the Lagrange multiplier optimization technique. The principle of the proposed unequal error protection strategy is to partition the information bits into sensitivity classes and to assign one code from a range of error-protecting codes to each sensitivity class in a nearly optimal way. Experimental results show that joint source-channel coding with fracta image compression is feasible, leads to efficient protection strategies, and outperforms works in this field that only covered channel coding with a fixed source rate
